Directed by Tommy Slack, the sixty-minute film takes a look at contemporary blues music, exploring its influence on the voices of today’s musicians, venue owners, historians, and philanthropists dedicated to preserving its legacy. Following the screening, a panel discussion will take place with Slack, producer Demmette Guidry, and associate producer Adrian “Rev Slim” Forrest. Before Talking Clarksdale, the Sunday Screening team will show a short film titled The Story of Ben Williams.
